IP policies in Africa no.s 46 and 47: South Sudan and Sudan

Neither Sudan nor South Sudan have a national IP policy yet nor do they seem to be working on one, which is understandable for countries that have been mired in military conflict. Sudan is a member of ARIPO, the AU and COMESA and as such subscribes to the COMESA IP policy as well as benefits from any national IP policy initiatives from these three organisations.
